@RobKitchin I’m teaching my Narratives of Digital Capitalism MSc module today - this is a great example to use in class!

[Pip Thornton @Pip__T]

@RichardACarter2 It definitely does - I have complete block on academic writing - everything I’ve written has been adapted from a script or blog or funding application. Or it’s been spec fiction.

PS - I’d love to read / listen to the keynote - where/when is it?!

New batch of {poem}.py receipts for an exhibition - startling to see how much G**gle can make from the word ‘Palestine’… Linguistic capitalism is inherently political 💰
